the 2.4ghz still works fine even combined. I've been using mesh for over a decade and the apps/support have gotten much better. I haven't ran into anything in years that I had to have the networks separated to get them to connect to the 2.4ghz.
I wouldn't worry about it to much.
Plus if you do run into issues, there's easy ways around it.
